In reply to Demi. How do you know the starter is fine?

I have a Nissan Pathfinder 2004. At times, it stalls immediately after starting; other times, it takes a while before it starts. There is this very loud and rapid clicking sound when it takes longer to start. It appears like the sound is from the starter area under the hood.

Could this be an ignition switch problem as the starter is fine.

In reply to Donna. Your battery could be dead. Sometimes the accessories will work, but the battery won't have enough amps to turn the starter motor.

In reply to Mary A Buckley. Is the car cranking for a while, or is it hard to even turn the key?

In reply to natalie. Is the van more likely to stay running when you give it a little gas as you try to start it?

I have 2010 Dodge Caravan and when I turn on the van i have to do it more than once. After my 2nd or 3rd attempt it turns on what could it be the ignition switch a cable. Nothing appears on my dash bored after it turns on.

In reply to Jessica Dowell. I don't know. Does your key have a battery? If so, when was the last time it was replaced?
